Goals and response

This idea is important because the project will engage public communicating and activities in
~in the commercial part, multiple public space which could promote the public activities will be create
~the urban context will be highly considered in order to make the building adapt to the site and lead public activities in
~ In the residential part, green space will be created to form communities

This project will be successful because it is an eco-friendly high rise building during the all period of its life span.
~ during the beginning of the construction, lightweight structure will be choose in order to use less materials, meanwhile, materials which has structural highly quality and less energy required for producing as well as high performance in recycling will be used.


~during the building operation period, this building will reduce energy consumption by using passive strategies, controllable façade system and effective mechanical system.
~ The detail of construction method will ensure that the building could be easily updating, recycle and demolish in order to reduce both energy and money in maintaining the building.
~the building will be have self on-site energy generation (photovoltaic panel, wind wheel, heat recovery system), the energy produced is equal to (or more than) the facility's demand.
~innovate material, construction method and new technology will be adopted in order to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions to surrounding and avoid mass waste to the limit.

This project will be successful because it is an economical high rise
~flexible functional proportions which could be changed according to need and future development
~the arrangement of program will base on the investigating on surrounding commercial utilities
~lower price for construction, maintaining, updating and demolishing by careful design
Guiding principles
Focused on sustainability
All decisions will be focused on the highly ecological performance of the building.
Accurate test
The performance of the ecological design need to be accurately calculated and test to tell how much will energy reduce by design
Future development
The impact from existed or future developed buildings which beside the site should be highly considered
Stokeholds
Owners
This project needs to achieve a high performance in low energy consumption, low cost of construction and maintaining.
Users
This building need to have good interior thermal comfort, delight living and working space. Good circulation routine and convenient facilities.
Contractors
The achievement of this project need the good cooperation among owners, designers and contractors, good contractors will guarantee the high quality of the project.
